  • Q1. Concatenation of two strings in c
  • Ans. 

    Concatenation of two strings in C

    • Use the strcat() function to concatenate two strings in C

    • The destination string should be null-terminated before concatenation

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Is BST or not?
  • Ans. 

    BST stands for Binary Search Tree.

    • BST is a type of binary tree where each node has at most two children.

    • In a BST, the left child of a node is always smaller than the node, and the right child is always greater.

    • BSTs are commonly used for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion operations.

    • Example: [5, 3, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8] is a BST.

  • Q3. Find peak in increasing and decreasing sequence
  • Ans. 

    Find peak in increasing and decreasing sequence

    • Use binary search to find the peak element

    • Compare the middle element with its neighbors to determine if it's a peak

    • If the middle element is smaller than its left neighbor, search in the left half of the array

    • If the middle element is smaller than its right neighbor, search in the right half of the array

  • Q4. Given a big string and words from dictionary as query, find number of times each word occur in big string in efficient way
  • Ans. 

    The task is to count the occurrences of words from a dictionary in a big string efficiently.

    • Create a hash map to store the count of each word from the dictionary.

    • Split the big string into words and iterate through each word.

    • Check if the word exists in the dictionary and update its count in the hash map.

    • Return the hash map with word counts.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Inorder traversal of a binary tree
  • Ans. 

    Inorder traversal is a depth-first traversal algorithm that visits the left subtree, then the root, and finally the right subtree.

    • Start at the root node

    • Traverse the left subtree recursively

    • Visit the root node

    • Traverse the right subtree recursively

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Construct BST using preorder traversal
  • Ans. 

    Construct a Binary Search Tree (BST) using preorder traversal.

    • Preorder traversal visits the root node first, then the left subtree, and finally the right subtree.

    • To construct a BST from preorder traversal, we can use a recursive approach.

    • The first element in the preorder traversal is the root of the BST.

    • All elements smaller than the root will be in the left subtree, and all elements greater than the root will be in the...

  • Q7. Given a directed dependency graph find sequence to install packages if each node has a structure of package name and dependency list
  • Ans. 

    Given a directed dependency graph, find sequence to install packages if each node has a structure of package name and dependency list.

    • Use topological sorting algorithm to find the installation sequence

    • Start with nodes that have no dependencies and gradually remove dependencies as packages are installed

    • If there is a cycle in the graph, it is not possible to find a valid installation sequence
